The tag-value file loader in package tvloader makes the following assumptions:

Document Creation Info

• The Document Creation Info section will always come first, and be completed first. Although the spec may not make this explicit, it appears that this is the intended format. Unless it comes first, the parser will not be able to confirm what version of the SPDX spec is being used. And, “SPDXID:” tags are used for not just the Document Creation Info section but also for others (e.g. Packages, Files).

Relationship

• Relationship sections will begin with the “Relationship” tag.

Annotation

• Annotation sections will begin with the “Annotator” tag.

Other License Info

• Other License sections will begin with the “LicenseID” tag.

• Any Other License section, if present, will come later than the Document Creation Info section and after any Package, File and Snippet sections.

Review

• Review sections will begin with the “Reviewer” tag.

• Any Review section, if present, will come later than the Document Creation Info section and after any Package, File, Snippet, and Other License sections.
